Concern for cerebral perfusion in neonates with congenital heart disease (CHD) has driven investigations into cerebral hemodynamics. MRI in combination with bedside NIRS has the potential to provide complementary measures of hemodynamics to guide surgical timing and assess response to surgery. We compare MRI and NIRS measures of cerebral hemodynamics. Modality results compare well to literature studies, but intermodality correlation is limited. Before combining modalities additional studies are needed to better understand why cerebral blood flow and CMRO₂ measures in MRI and NIRS differ.
